Nick Veasey - X Ray

The art of Nick Veasey is truly unique. Not many people know of the process that goes into x ray photography. The "studio" was specially built from concrete and lined with lead. Veasey has many x ray machines with varying capabilities. The concrete studio is cleared of people before shooting begins; the machines are operated from the outside. The film is then retrieved and scanned in high resolution. After scanning they go through an editing process where it is digitally cleaned and enhanced. The last image of the plane required more than 500 separate shots for a complete picture.

Tarantino is best known for Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Kill Bill. His films are many times a mixture of twists, comedy, action, history, and homage to the past. They're often plot-heavy and contain tons of dialogue. Tarantino often collaborates with Robert Rodriguez, who is coming out with Machete. People who's seen Grindhouse will recognize this.
